Stand with Moms Elect Democrats

Monday, September 29, 2014

Fellow Americans,In a recent interview with Politico, Mitch McConnell finally shed some light on what he'd do if he becomes our next Senate Majority Leader: he'll shutdown the government — again.

McConnell's latest threats come on the heels of the 2013 shutdown that cost our nation $24 billion, hitting Virginia especially hard. Negotiating by threatening to create a manufactured crisis isn't just a bad way to do business — it's reckless and puts the future of working families and our fragile economy at risk.

While McConnell's threats are disturbing, we still have time to stop him. There's no better way to do that than to stand with Alison Lundergan Grimes in her race to become Kentucky's first female Senator.

I've known Alison for a long time and I can promise you that she's the exact opposite of Mitch McConnell.

Instead of creating more gridlock, Alison will create solutions to our most challenging problems. Instead of fighting for billionaires and corporations, Alison will fight for working families. She will always put people first.

We need more leaders like that in Washington.

By helping Alison to defeat Mitch McConnell, we can put a stop to the dangerous partisanship that has hurt our commonwealth and our country for far too long.
